Identity Imaging

In the second century B.C., Chinese rulers used their thumbprints to seal important documents, the first time in history that fingerprints were used for positive personal identification. Since then, finger image recognition has broadened to a much greater scale and is the principal method used for undeniable, unchangeable evidence of a person’s identity.

Today the fastest, most accurate, and easiest means of conducting finger imaging is through Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) technology. Accurate and conclusive, AFIS technology is the only proven technology that can both verify and identify a person from a database of more than one million records.

For decades, NEC has been in touch with customer’s needs for a reliable method of identification. An AFIS system from NEC is the perfect match of innovation with accuracy and affordability. NEC will put you in touch with simply the best form of biometric identification available today.

NEC’s AFIS stores, searches for, and matches fingerprints with phenomenal 99.9% accuracy. Originally developed for law enforcement, finger-imaging technology has now been successfully adapted for a variety of commercial uses as well.

LAW Enforcement:

In 1983, NEC installed its first AFIS system in North America for the San Francisco Police Department. Today, our systems contain fingerprint records of more than 50 million subjects, and are accessed by more than 300 local, state and federal law enforcement agencies throughout the world. In fact, NEC systems have solved more crimes using latent prints than all other AFIS systems in the world, combined.

Healthcare:

HealthIDTM, NEC’s finger imaging product customised for the healthcare industry, speeds the patient registration process; eliminates duplication of patient records; identifies the patient before medical services are administered; and helps reduce healthcare fraud by validating identities of patients receiving care or prescriptions.

Civil Services:

NEC’s finger imaging systems ensures the integrity of driver’s licensing, voter registration and Passport issuance programs. Also, by associating fingerprints to members and their appropriate services, NEC’s fingerprint systems serve the global needs of identification systems worldwide.

Financial Services:

NEC’s identification systems provide financial institutions around the world with an accurate and unobtrusive means for securing fingerprint signatures to deter fraudulent behaviour (e.g., forged signatures; counterfeit and altered cheques).

Information Security:

NEC’s finger imaging technology is more reliable than passwords to identify users of computers. NEC’s TouchPassTM not only combats computer crimes involving sensitive information on computers and networks, but also eliminates the procedures and costs associated with password control.

Internet Security:

Authentication by fingerprint at Internet and Intranet areas is also possible now, with the NEC Internet plug-in. Internet pages and sites are now possible to access by fingerprint recognition based on the NEC Fingerprint technology.

Look no further and entrust your AFIS solution to NEC. We’ve earned a world-wide reputation for building the advanced products that make our clients easier and more efficient.
